Broken Fences (2008)
3/10
Part Non-Fiction, Part Fiction/Macabre
6 January 2020
This is the second movie I've seen with this flaw. The other was "The Revival". The problem is....when you select a genre for a story, it has to be consistent or it ends up confusing the viewer/reader. When mixing genres, such as fantasy/reality, there needs to be a device to create a transition. Sometimes, it's a wall or mirror in which the characters step through. Or Zeus comes down and puts a hex on everyone or everything. Absent, a device, the story just becomes unreal and disappointing. This is what happened in this movie. It starts out as a romance/drama, with fair acting and script, but then the last 10 minutes evolves quickly into a gut wrenching, macabre horror story that is completely unreal, unexpected and downright pathetic.
